Francois Merlin cultivates two hectares of vines in Condrieu from his HQ in Saint-Michel-sur-Rhone as well as small plots in Cote Rotie and Saint Joseph. &#39;Les Terroirs&#39; his principal cuvee has a year long elevage (30% in vat 70% in barrel) and is a classic Condrieu <b>wine</b> with exotic fruit aromas a generous peachy palate and a long dry persistent finish.
